South Yorkshire Trading Standards
15m Cantilever Electric Gate
Contract Duration: 6 Days
The South Yorkshire trading standards project was very interesting and pleasing job to do as an installation company, being complex in the design for an automated sliding gate, the entrance way on to the site was not level across the width of the opening and cambered on an incline to the closing possession.
The gate it’s self was 15 metres in length was lifted off the ground supported on two RHS mounts fixed to a counterbalance concrete reinforced block, rolling on a cantilever internal track with a skirt designed to follow the contour of the driveway surface.
The gate it’s self slides effortlessly between two support post to the closing position and can be opened manually by one person in the event of a power failure.
The automation used on this project was a BFT sliding gate motor driving (2000kg ≈ 20000N) installed along side all the required safety equipment required.
Access was provided by the use of an internal and external keypad and also via an intercom system to the reception. This was the first of two projects that Assured Gate Services installed for trading standards, and a third gate of this design was installed for Vetco Gray Ltd in Montrose Scotland again at 15m in length.
